Howard Jackson, retired City Clerk who compiled 5 pictorial historical albums of Yorkton and vicinity in the mid-1960s, had this to say about this particular photo: 鈥淣ow, 1950 to date, one man operates the combine and his son, with a tractor, hauls the grain to the bins or the elevator. Now the housewife hardly knows it is harvest time.鈥� Surely we can hear the loud protest from even present day harvesting women! And, surely you were joking when you wrote this Mr. Jackson! This edition of History Corner was originally published in the Sept. 22, 2010 issue of Yorkton This Week.
